Our Crystallized Ginger is made with organic young ginger from an area of China’s Fujian region where the sun and temperatures are optimal for its growth cycle — picked after only 5 months when it is still tender and mild. The moisture in the ginger is replaced by sugar syrup during a days-long cooking process in steeping kettles. It is then rolled in sugar and cured in humidity-controlled rooms to produce this traditional European- style sweetmeat. Net weight: 5 oz.
